      @helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.

      Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.

      On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

      i never had to do this for original games on any os.

      windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.

          in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.

          OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.
